[13:06] [Akanishi] Is everyone ready then? :D
[13:06] * Pi presses the play button
[13:06] [Akanishi] \o/
[13:06] [Akanishi] Hi Everyone and welcome to the Gryfftober House Meeting!! :D
[13:06] [Akanishi] I'm sure you're all really excited, but before we can get started, there are a couple of rules you need to follow at all times. *nods*
[13:06] [Akanishi] First rule! Unless you are an operator with the really cool squiggle next to your name, colors off! You can turn your colors off with the simple command "/remote off"...without the quotes, of course.
[13:06] [Akanishi] So everyone with colors, please turn off your colors right...now. Dooo iiit!
[13:07] [Akanishi] Okay, now that all of you are color-free, moving on to the second rule! This one is slightly more complicated so listen (or watch) carefully.
[13:07] [Akanishi] When you have a comment, type "!". Wait for an operator/moderator/owner of a squiggle to call on you. (Make sure to be typing your comment while waiting to be called on though, as we don’t like to wait.)
[13:07] [Akanishi] When you are called on, you may then comment. If at any time during the time you are waiting to be called on you decide that you no longer want to comment, please type "-!" and then no one will call on you.
[13:07] [Akanishi] The same goes for questions but instead of using !/-!, you use ?/-?. Simple, ne?
[13:07] [Akanishi] Third rule? KAT-TUN is an essent-- *gets thwaped lots* Um... okay, well, there isn’t one. *adds only having two rules during house meetings to the already extremely long list of why Gryffindor pwns*
[13:07] [Akanishi] Enjoy the meeting and gooooo Gryffindor!!
[13:07] [Akanishi] *presses pause to let peoples read*
[13:08] [Akanishi] mmm
[13:08] [Akanishi] okies, well *presses play again*
[13:08] [Akanishi] *tosses the sparkley mic to Luuucy!* :D
[13:08] [Lulu] So as the chosen one to talk about Gryfftoberfest, I have to let you know you need to participate, or my pack of werewolves will come after you. No seriously speaking, it's that time again of the year where you can let your wildest come out, with drinking moderation of butterbeer.
[13:08] [Lulu] So far, we have had the Motto contest, and it's winner is Jacqualine Snape. Her motto : You have to be mad to survive. In other words, if you haven't seen a psychiatrist yet, you probably aren't going to last past this month... And if you want a glimpse of other mottos check out : http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=1962 .
[13:09] [Lulu] Also the Gryfftoberfest, best time of the year I have to say again, is already on the roll. I shall announce the top three so far : 1. Barbara Phoenix: 80 Rubies ; 2. Jacqualine Snape: 48 Rubies ; 3. Zenix James: 47 Rubies. For other top rubies earners, check out : http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=2022 .
[13:09] [Lulu] I have to say, I knew that BaPo girl was a threat. She kept hiding behind those stuffed animals, I knew her innocent outlook was just a cover. You have to get on with the games and beat her!
[13:09] [Lulu] So I will end this talk by saying : GRYFFTOBERFEST PWNS ALL! GO HAVE FUN! (And if you don't, my werewolves are standing by....) Comments/Questions, anyone ?

[13:23] [Cyriel] Point Status Check! \o/
[13:23] [Cyriel] If you take a look at the HOL main page, you'll see that Gryff in currently last in the point race. HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN!?
[13:23] [Cyriel] We're obviously the coolest house, so we deserve to be first, don't you think? XD Now in order to do that, each and every Gryffie has to earn as many points as possible. *nodnod* There are various ways for earning points, here's a pretty list for ya:
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Classes, it's traditionally the best and easiest way, so DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Department projects, especially the bookwriting project
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Joining the GQT and helping them win games with highest possible scores
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Joining the Paw Print and writing articles
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Submitting stuff for Prose and Cons
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Writing for the Hogsmeade Herald, Alte, Serpentimes and Wizarding Times
[13:23] [Cyriel] - Random contests like the HOL Idol
[13:23] [Cyriel] We even have a special topic all for discussing point opportunities, check it out here
[13:23] [Cyriel] http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=1884
[13:24] [Cyriel] In case you need further motivating, let's put it this way. If you don't earn points, we'll come after you with a tape of Wylie singing Britney songs and make you listen to it over and over again. Do you really want to experience that!? D:
[13:24] [Cyriel] Questions, comments, chocolate frogs?
[13:24] [BaPo] !
[13:24] [Cyriel] BaPo?
[13:24] [AlvaStClair] !
[13:24] [Brenna] !

[13:24] [BaPo] the application things have ended
[13:24] [Jacqualine] "!"

[13:25] [Cyriel] Alva?
[13:25] [AlvaStClair] We can't be in last place!! D=
[13:25] [Cyriel] I know, it's sad *sobs*
[13:25] [BaPo] We can - due to the house multiplyer
[13:25] [Cyriel] Brenna?
[13:25] [Brenna] Please anything but Wylie.... *hides and starts on some homework*
[13:25] [BaPo] it''s an evil thing
[13:25] [Cyriel] My point exactly! :D
[13:25] [Cyriel] Eddie?
[13:25] [EddieV] Jenny: Will you marry me?

[13:26] [Pi] Duh.

[13:26] [Akanishi] Eddie: Of course, if I can still be with teh Missa, too? :D
[13:26] [BaPo] Eddie - DANGEROUS - jenney's Missa's *nods*
[13:26] [EddieV] Shweet!
[13:26] [EddieV] Sorry, next question
[13:26] [Pi] But you'll have Eddie cooties.

[13:27] [BaPo] Espeically not the collaborative book writing project
[13:27] [BaPo] because like

[13:29] [CastoraG] Please earn some points so we can taunt the other houses this year with how much we rule the WORLD!--Oh and Bapo is rawking the points too!
[13:29] [Cyriel] \o/
[13:29] [Cyriel] BaPo?
[13:29] [BaPo] Remind me that I'm a moron, please? A couple of times a day if possible?
[13:29] [Cyriel] Will do. :P
[13:29] [BaPo] oh
[13:29] [BaPo] that's a question
[13:29] [BaPo] (see? Moron)
[13:29] * Cyriel pets
[13:29] [Cyriel] Anyone else?
[13:30] [Cyriel] No?
[13:30] * Cyriel bombards BaPo with mics
[13:30] * BaPo says ouch
[13:30] * BaPo throws back a nerf bat at Cyriel
[13:30] * BaPo grabs mic from the ground
[13:30] [BaPo] As you all will have noticed, Rames, our fabulous headmaster, has been making a Hogsmeade for HOL. You can find a map here: http://hol.org.uk/hogsmeade.php. There are linkeys towards the different Hogsmeade shops there, look at them all because it totally rawks!
[13:30] [BaPo] There are all kind of awesome shops, such as the pet shop, and there also is a thrift shop where you can sell things you don’t need.
[13:30] [BaPo] To buy stuff in Hogsmeade you will need beans. There are several manners to obtain those beans. One way is earning points - for every 10 points you get a bean. Also you get beans for posting comments on Art or Library Department submissions. And there are many more ways - the key is to be active!
[13:30] [BaPo] Then, there is a great Hogsmeade newspaper, the Hogsmeade Herald (of which I am a proud writer and graphic designer). You can find it here: http://hol.org.uk/hogsmeade/index.php. Check it a couple of times a week and you will find new articles every once in a while. Trust me, it’s a fun read!
[13:30] [BaPo] So that’s that! Now go discover Hogsmeade (after the Gryff House Meeting of course *G*)!
[13:30] [BaPo] Any comments/questions?
[13:31] [CastoraG] !
[13:31] [BaPo] Castora?
[13:31] [Lulu] !
[13:31] [CastoraG] I luuuuv beans they rawk!
